It's nice to get invited to the parties and to be able to hobnob and celebrate a job well done with your colleagues.

I don't have any bone to pick with critics. In fact, if I wasn't a filmmaker I would probably be a film critic. Most of my bone is I would be a better film critic than most of the film critics I read.
